ARRMA Nero Big Rock Review
Hot on the heals of the very popular Nero, ARRMA has released the Nero Big Rock Monster Truck.

ASK Cubby- A Day Late, A Dollar Short
“Remote Control Tackling Dummy Cubby Seeing if you and the guys at Big Squid have seen the Mobile Virtual Player (MVP) tackling dummy.

THE Trump Report – Version 10.17.2016
Regardless of what the title to this week’s Cub Report may read, I am not voting for Trump. Yes, the title is simply click bait of the worst kind and I should be ashamed of myself (but of course I am not). So who will I be pulling the trigger for on November 8th? That would be… wait for it… [...]
